The whole thing went very smoothly, and the several veterans in the army were indeed capable people.

And after his previous outstanding performance, Hussein Ibnna basically followed their opinions in formulating tactics, which also made the veterans feel that they were respected, and invisibly gathered a wave of people's hearts.

.

In this way, taking advantage of the opportunity brought to them by this cold winter, the Dashi army, which was extremely familiar with the terrain, and led by several veteran generals, could be said to have easily approached the target city.

Following the wishes of those veterans, this time Hussein Ibn did not choose to lead the charge as usual, but sat at the rear.

After all, he is the emperor now. Taking the lead in the charge can certainly boost the morale of the army, but on the other hand, they have to consider the safety of His Majesty the Emperor. It is safer to stay in the rear.

This can be said to have made Hussein Ibn greatly relieved at the time. At the same time, he secretly lamented the control that His Majesty and his staff had over the entire plan. The thoughts and styles of several veteran generals in this army were almost astonishing.

It was completely within their expectations.

After simply confirming the entire attack plan, under the leadership of several veteran generals, the Dashi army quickly overwhelmed the situation.

The orc army is different from humans in that they are smaller in number. Under this premise, Raymond Souci had to disperse his limited troops in order to maintain the occupation and rule of an entire piece of Taishi territory.

According to the intelligence information fed back by the spies of the Spiegel Division, this border fortress happens to be the one with the fewest troops stationed on the border. Its internal strength is only about 3,000.

Although the combat effectiveness of orc soldiers far exceeds that of human soldiers, the numerical advantage cannot be ignored. You must know that the Dashi army now has nearly 50,000 troops!

Several veteran generals who were familiar with the terrain first dispersed 40,000 of the troops to both sides of the battlefield and set up an ambush.

Then one of them will lead 10,000 troops to attack.

When the orc troops on the opposite side saw this small number of people, they naturally didn't have much scruples in their hearts and went straight out of the city to attack.

In their view, the Great Eaters were already a defeated group of remnants and could be beaten casually.

As they advanced and retreated, the orc troops that came out were easily diverted away by the 10,000 Dashi soldiers. Then, as soon as the signal flare went off, the 40,000 troops lying in ambush on both sides rushed out and surrounded them on three sides.

It directly kills the suspense of this battle completely.

The disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves is so great that even the orc soldiers cannot withstand the suppression of more than ten times the force!

Although even among the many border fortresses, this was just a small fortress with a remote location and a relatively small scale, it was of great significance as the first piece of lost land that their food army had successfully recaptured.

The army was stationed, and the morale of the Dashi army, which had won the first battle, was already high. With this wave, it almost broke through the ninety-point mark and reached the level of 'morale like a rainbow'.

There is no doubt that this is a good sign. With morale raised to this level, the army's combat effectiveness has been significantly improved.

The only thing that is more regrettable is probably the resource reserves in this fortress.

In addition to a considerable amount of arms and ammunition reserves, the food reserves are too small.

This made several veteran generals clearly realize that the orc army was in a food crisis. Although Hussein Ibn had already known about this, at this time, he still had to deal with it and proposed at the same time

A proposal to pursue the victory and recapture several rear cities in one go.

This proposal was undoubtedly unanimously approved.

After all, they can only restore productivity by recapturing a certain city and gaining population resources and factory facilities.

In the current situation, no matter how big or small, it is necessary to recapture a few cities first and lay the foundation for the restoration of the country.

After this proposal was passed, before the enemy orc army could react, Hussein Ibn and several veteran generals under his command directly launched a wave of overnight marches with their well-fed army.

According to common sense, the number of orcs in this border fortress is only a little over 3,000, so the number of troops garrisoned in the city behind will only be even smaller.

And this is indeed the case. Hussein Ibn can almost be said to have easily captured the first border city.

Under the rule of the orc army, the people of Dashi, whose life was almost miserable, naturally welcomed the return of the Dashi army with both hands.

After entering the city, the tragic scene inside the city almost exceeded Hussein Ibn's expectations.

The orc army that captured this place really had no intention of governing this city properly. In the past few months since the beginning of winter, they had been completely unilaterally plundering food from the people.

But in fact, Raymond Soucy didn't want to do this. Without knowing how long this all-out war would last, for the sake of long-term considerations, he wanted to take good care of the city he captured, and then humans like him would

It provides productivity, which is definitely beneficial.

But the problem is that he has no choice now, his orc army has fallen into a food crisis.

The profiteer has been unable to buy food. Now he can barely feed his own soldiers. Who has the spare time to manage the development of the city?

So and so, this is the tragic situation we have now.

So far, in this entire empire of cannibals, countless cannibals have starved to death on the streets.

Looking at the sallow and skinny Dashi people and the corpses lying in the streets, the Dashi soldiers and veterans who entered the city all had expressions of sadness and indignation on their faces.

Taking a deep breath, Hussein Ibn immediately ordered the soldiers to clean up the corpses in order to prevent an epidemic in the city.

At the same time, I checked the granaries in the city and found that there was still some food in stock, but most of it was stolen by the orc soldiers from the people of Dashi.

Hussein Ibn originally planned to order people to distribute food and provide relief to the victims, but he was stopped by a look from the soldiers beside him.

Even if the grain stored in the granary is included, the grain they currently have is relatively limited.

It is simply impossible to distribute food and provide relief to the victims. If you do this, your own army will only have enough to eat.

After discussing this matter with several veterans, they also expressed their agreement with heavy faces.

At the same time, a recruitment notice was issued in the city, and several important production factories in the city were given priority to resume work, recruit workers, and confirm whether there was farmland that could be cultivated in the city.

If so, then for long-term considerations, a group of farmers must be recruited and reorganized.

This job, on the premise of providing food as reward, is enough to attract countless citizens to flock to it.
